I was gonna go with “most people give a damn”, but I think you phrased it a bit more positively.

Ok

I’m saying this unironically: this comment could go on any dumbass thread about China’s dumbass social media and dumbass AI. I don’t understand why I don’t see it more.

They. Are. Authoritarian.

I’m becoming an inveg – involuntary vegan

Sometimes living is not enjoyable for some people.

You want me to explain what that feels like?

For me, it has to do with context.

Upbeat pop music while heading to the finish line of a 5k? Pretty good.

Upbeat pop music while I’m waiting in the psychiatrist’s office so I can tell them my life is spiraling out of control? Not preferable.

I just use the Lemmy web client on mobile. I also only used my web browser back in the Reddit days.

Never understood the appeal of apps. It’s text and images and occasionally a video or gif. There’s a perfectly good app for viewing those sorts of things, and it’s called a web browser.

Could there be a way to enjoy a dollar’s worth of a skydiving trip? I’m thinking of being teleported into the sky mid-drop, flailing about in a panic for a few seconds, then instantly reappearing back where I was before.

But this is the only method I trust to not surprise me with fees for a “free” service.

“Free-free-free, free-free, free. That’ll be $39.95.”

Burger King. They’ve messed up orders, burned food, and drowned stuff in mayonnaise too many times to tolerate.

Now I just cook frozen burger patties on the stove, and tell myself that their sides were never all that great anyway.

I’d say those aren’t my pronouns, but how would you know whether or not to believe me?

Not gonna lie… the headline got me to finally get around to donating.

Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid.

I hate to post because I have loved and trusted Wikipedia for years, but the fact that there are folks out there who equally trust what AI tools generate just baffles me.

Dang. It’s like he’s using an asset to lessen the impact of a legal penalty. If only there were some form of legal penalty that were equally impactful on all people regardless of how well-resourced they were.

Wasn’t this man fined a gazillion dollars? How is he still able to say things and have me hear about them?

The key point is that if it’s not signed, it gives them an excuse to throw it away.

Do that to enough people and you end up with a big problem. The uncounted votes could swing the election, or you get a messy court case where some judges step in and basically decide the election on their own, or who knows what else.

At a minimum, it’s sets the stage for chaos. And from the chaos can emerge a chaotic outcome.

Side note: do I have this right? You can actually picture a time in the foreseeable future where you never have to use Excel again?

If so, I am soooo deeply envious of you :P
